Aura: Meditation & Sleep, CBT

THIS IS A SCAM! They offer you a free 7 day trial, and then they charge your credit card immediately for the full amount. There is no easy way to cancel, no website you can use, and their "customer service" is an AI bot incapable of figuring out what you're saying you need. If I could give zero stars, I would. Disgusting app.

Really enjoying Aura. They have a huge library of meditations, hypnosis, soundscapes, the list goes on! I'm loving how you are able to adjust each session to your liking down to the accent of the the person talking. You can create playlists, download, they offer 1 on 1 coaching. They pretty much have sessions for anything and everything you need in self-help. Definitely recommend.

Very limited. Not a lot of content. Annoying voices. Duration is much too short on most. I am not using the free version. Why would you have a story for falling asleep that's under 10 minutes??? If you can fall asleep that fast you don't need a story for falling asleep 🙄 Filter doesn't filter-if you select don't like the teacher's voice or content not helpful it's still suggests those teachers and the same content. App freezes quite often. 6 chapters avail for 15 ch book. 🙄Can't sign it🙄

This app has a lot to offer but would be so much easier to navigate with 1) the option to view offerings as a list, making it easier to scroll through to find what you're looking for. And 2) on the hypnosis screen, showing the topics to narrow one's search as is an option on the meditation and coaching pages. It's tedious and off-putting sorting through all of the vast content. Especially considering the cost of this app compared to less expensive apps that are easier to navigate.

Update: after reaching out twice and requesting a refund from Google Play, I got my $ back. Apparently the system detected that I'd had a trial more than 3 yrs ago... App looks nice and intuitive. Looks like it's worth checking out. DON'T FALL FOR THE "FREE" TRIAL!! I actually like the app but I am NOT amused that I click on a 7 day trial subscription and the same day cancel my subscription to find that I've already been charged $60 and my subscription won't cancel until a year from now!

I haven't used Aura very much , so I can't say I like it , or not . The $9.95 per month I felt I could afford (barely) . So I installed the Premium version , BUT Aura billed me for the whole year all at once ! ! ! My debit card was overdrafted , and my online car insurance and phone payment were declined . I had to borrow $300 from a friend to straighten out the mess the overdraft caused ! I had the monthly payment amount on my debit card , but Certainly not the yearly amount All at once . . .

This app WAS amazing! For like the 3 years I've had it, It offered limited free meditations and sound scapes with the option to unlock more features if you pay. I open it today and no more limited free options. It's all locked, with the option for use is paying. Oh and when I try to contact or give feedback on the app... that one tab doesn't work. Definitely shouldn't waste your time downloading it!

I have tried to install this app several times and all I get when I open it is a beautiful picture with a frozen rainbow ring. I get daily emails with the options I chose when I originally registered, but cannot access them. Very frustrating. I didn't even get to experience the 7 day trial. Now I have to get see if I am getting charged for the app.

Wow! Did not expect all the extra things in it. I used to use balance and I still do from time to time. But this app is much more in depth. In builds a profile around your goals. It's not just mediation either. It's connected me with podcast, taught me breathing techniques, and gives me daily inspirational quotes. There is more in the app. These are just my favorite features.

I cannot figure out how to cancel this subscription. Very confusing and frustrating. They got my money, now I just want out. There are other apps that feel more ethical than this one. I would not waste my time on it. After I wrote the above I was able to email Aura and they were very helpful and helped me cancel my subscription. I added a star because of the good customer service I received. I did not get my subscription through Google and it took me a bit to figure out how to contact Aura. I would recommend you try Aura (maybe through Google) and if it isn't right for you it will be easier to cancel.

Tried the app for 7 day trial but decided to uninstall it on 7th day because sessions are too short for what I need. I was still charged for the annual subscription. You folks need to change your billing policy to bill on day 8, not day 7 of free trial. If it wasn't for that, I'd have rated your app more than 2 stars. I'd like a refund for the annual subscription you billed me for. Thank you.

This is a wonderful mental health & wellness app. It's a one stop shop for all your CBT/DBT needs. I'm really enjoying the meditations, coaching, and hypnosis tracks. Love the sounds & asmr tracks for sleep. Journaling foe gratitude and other things on my mind. Tracking my mood to help see patterns in mood swings. There has been a few glitches with Journaling and jotting down my thoughts, but other than that I am truly loving this app.

I've been using this for over a year or two years and I absolutely love this app! I go to sleep faster and get a nice restful sleep and wake up a little happier than when I went to sleep. However, I would have gave this a 5 star review except after my iPhone was stolen I had to go back to an android(disabled/broke) and when I try to login it says "no email found" I paid for the premium subscription and can opt use it now.

I got offered a free subscription for a time but I am going to be honest and so far I am enjoying the app. It's actually has been surprisingly helpful, I have tried many apps in the past that I ended up deleting because they weren't working. I still believe there also still quite a bit of room for improvement, like more sound options and some more variety of instrumental music. I think menu could some work as well but overall I am very happy with this app.

Really enjoying this app and the content it has. I started using it once Shine was bought out by Headspace and didn't really like what Headspace had to offer. I am using the paid version because I am really particular about what I find useful and relaxing. I stick to the meditations and sounds portion of the app. Finding that sleep ones are fantastic. The paid version has a ton of content to sift through and it's really easy to find your favorites and the gratitude journal.

The meditations are great, but only when you can find them. If you find one you like further about ever hearing it again unless you had the foresight to favorite it before listening. But don't you need to listen at least once to know? It desperately needs a search function and the recent sessions hasn't saved any for a month. It creates as much frustration navigating add it relieves.

I love this app! I've noticed a huge improvement in my mental health since I started using it. ***I only have one complaint. I can't upload my picture to the app. I updated and fixed all permissions for the app; however, gallery / pictures and files are not listed permissions, which is a technical issue on your end. There's nothing I can do on my end.

Mixed feelings. I find quite a bit of content that I like, and can see that some I don't favor would appeal to others. The app introduced me to ASMR which I like. The interface is visually appealing and easy to navigate. My disappointment is that roughly half the time, my selected meditation track for the day cuts off after just playing for a couple of minutes. This doesn't happen every time, but recurs often. I use a paid version of the app and probably will not renew if this continues.

The more I explore this app the more I have realized there is so much to chose from and great variety. At first I thought a couple things were a bit tacky and over priced but I've changed my opinion. It would be nice to have more coaching sessions that directly address anxiety and panic attacks. But, I think I'm going to continue using this app daily because it still has so much to offer after I discovered it more in depth.

I originally rated this app 5 stars. I have anxiety and severe insomnia. I absolutely loved this app for the first 2 months. Now it won't let me access it. Everytime I open the app, it immediately shuts down. I send a feedback report, but have received no help. I finally emailed, but it doesn't appear it will be fixed that way either. I would like to to cancel my subscription and receive a refund if I'm not going to receive any tech support.
